Congratulations to Japanese Studies program for Hosting Study Abroad in Japan Report Session 2026

Study Abroad in Japan Report Session 2026 was held on Friday, October 2, 2026, which was a great success. Approximately, 20 Participants enjoyed learning about the wide range of study abroad opportunities available in Japan through engaging student presentations and discussions. Information about scholarships specifically available for study abroad programs in Japan was also shared with attendees. Each year, approximately at least 70 UNC Charlotte students participate in study abroad programs in Japan through the Department of Languages, Cultures & Translation and other academic departments. We hope that many of this year’s participants will be inspired to pursue future study abroad opportunities in Japan and take advantage of the transformative academic, cultural, and personal experiences these programs provide.
